The Blaxland Council did so on the score of expense. It was decided to apply., for a grant of £2OOO for relief works. It is stated that for about £2700 the Bankstown Council would havo obtained work valued at £24,000 within 18 weeks. At its last meeting the council decided to borrow £OOOO, to he spent in ono ward, award wages to be paid, and one-half of the wages to be repaid in reducing arrears of rates.
